Development codes are ordinances implementing a local government’s comprehensive plan. They include two components: a zoning ordinance and a subdivision ordinance, which may be adopted and published as separate documents under their own titles. In some cases the sections pertaining to subdivision of land may be included in the zoning ordinance.

More often than not, master plans are
developed based on a vision and not
market realities. This master plan
moves previous planning efforts
forward by market testing
assumptions and concepts,
incorporating developer feedback
and by meeting multiple objectives
that include:
community objectives: some of
which are non-revenue
generating;
Urban Renewal objectives: which
are to increase the tax base and
have a catalyst project to help
spur additional development and
investment in the Empire District;
business district objectives: where
what happens on the Hollering
Place site should complement and
connect with the existing business
district. [From the Plan]

The following steps have been taken to ensure that the City of Coos Bay meets [state] objectives:
Conducted an inventory of "buildable" land within the City's UGB that is zoned to allow for housing development; identified long-term (20-year) needs for additional housing...;
Compared the supply of land in different zones to the estimated need for housing in each zone to ensure that there is enough land within the City's UGB and that it is zoned appropriately to meet long-term housing needs.
The remainder of this document describes these efforts and the resulting findings. [From the document]

The existing zoning on the Hollering Place site does not fit its future use as outlined in the master plan. Currently,
the bluff is zoned General Commercial and the portion of the lower site that is above the high water line is
zoned Urban Water Dependent and the portion of the site below the high water line is zoned Development
Aquatic. Changes these zoning designations will not an easy task. However, the City has 30 acres available to
remove from these zoning designations and has already gone through the process with the rezoning of the site
for the new Maritime Museum on Hwy. 101.
Part of the charge of the Hollering Place Master Plan project was to review the existing codes and make
recommendations for updates that will support the new master plan. [From the document]
